Morning Yoga Session We got up reasonably early so that I could fill up the bike and return it to Ben. Afterwards we made our way over to a yoga place that we had seen the day before. Mum, Christine and I were the only participants. Having said that, it was exactly what we needed,…
I went out early to collect the XRM bike, this is a farm type motor bike and as such it had a fair bit more go in it than the scooter. I collected Christine and we rode out to the wet markets to drop the clothes and books to Angelo so that he could take…
Philippines Time We were up nice and early so that we would be ready to meet the van to take us to the airport. We had arranged with Andy for a 5am pickup which would give us enough time to finish the checkin process and catch our flight to Siargao. We made our way down…
